1. Agreement
The Terms of Service and Conditions found below (the “Agreement”) shall govern the website owner’s (the “Publisher”) participation in the B2B Avenue Network (the "Program") that is offered by B2B AVENUE, LLC (“B2B”), a New York limited liability company. Publisher accepts the terms and conditions of this Agreement and thereby enters into a legally binding contract with B2B upon checking the "I Agree" checkbox and submitting the new Publisher application form. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of New York, and in the event of a dispute, Publisher agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts located in Kings County, New York.

2. Responsibilities
Publisher shall include codes provided by B2B to enable the display of advertisement materials to visitors of Publisher’s site. Publisher shall not modify the codes or Intellectual Property, which is herein licensed to Publisher. Publisher is solely responsible for the creation and maintenance of its own web site and for all content that appears on Publisher’s web site. Publisher may not issue any press release or other public statements regarding this Agreement without B2B’s prior written consent.

3. Application Process
Publisher must complete the application in full and keep contact information current once in the Program. Although Publisher may not have more than one account with the Program, multiple sites are allowed per account, and can be added, subject to approval, throughout the span of this Agreement’s term. B2B holds the right to reject any applicant for any reason whatsoever. Publisher’s acceptance into the Program shall be evidenced by an ‘acceptance e-mail’ clearly notifying the Publisher party of its application approval and providing further instructions relating to Publisher’s participation in the Program.

4. Term and Termination
The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) will commence on the date B2B accepts and approves Publisher’s completed application and will remain in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this paragraph. All of the terms and conditions contained herein must be adhered to and are legally binding immediately upon agreement. Both parties reserve the right to terminate this agreement at their discretion for any reason whatsoever. However, Publisher must notify B2B fourteen (14) days in advance, in writing or via e-mail, of its intentions to terminate Agreement. Publisher is obligated to fulfill any advertising campaign configured to run on its site in its entirety prior to termination with the Program. Publisher’s inability to comply with any said terms of this Agreement will forfeit any unpaid earnings due to Publisher and result in immediate termination of Publisher's participation in the Program. Further legal course of action may be considered to prosecute violating Publishers.

5. Payment
B2B will make all payments to Publisher in US Dollars based on 1,000 valid impressions (per CPM) whereby Publisher will receive 50% of the net campaign market rate that is determined by B2B and may account for bad-debt collection costs, campaign referral fees and ad-serving expenses.
Payments will generally be made within forty-five (45) business days after the billing cycle to all Publishers who reach a minimum level of one-hundred ($100.00) dollars for all commissions earned under this Agreement less international mailing fees (for Publishers outside the United States) and less any amount B2B determines, in its sole discretion, was not validly earned from proper use of the B2B codes on Publisher's site. Commissions earned during any calendar month that are less than one-hundred ($100.00) dollars, at B2B’s sole discretion, shall be carried over to the next billing period.
Publisher is responsible to pay all taxes on the monies earned through the Program. B2B must receive a W9 form containing the unique tax id number of a US based Publisher, or an appropriate tax form, such as W8 tax form, from an international Publisher before a payment to Publisher can be made. In the event B2B has not received payment for a portion of ad-placement campaign revenues earned, B2B may delay commission payment due to Publisher on such portion until 30 days after B2B collects such portion.

6. Ad-Defaults
In the case where B2B may not be in a position to provide Publisher with paying ad materials, free default ads will be shown. Publisher party has an option to define and upload its own free default creatives to be shown in cases where paid ads inventory would be unavailable. Publisher-defined default ads must conform to limitations and guidelines specified in the “Representation and warranties” section of this Agreement. B2B makes no guarantees as to a constant, fixed or any minimum provision of paid advertisements to any Publisher’s site.

7. Reporting
B2B will be solely responsible for determining Publisher’s earnings, impressions and click-through numbers. Publisher will be granted access to statistics reports via the Program site. B2B shall have the right to review such records, including but not limited to log files and all referring pages, upon request to Publisher.

8. License
B2B hereby grants to Publisher a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, display, transmit, and redistribute B2B’s codes. In no event is the Publisher permitted to modify or alter the B2B’s codes without prior written consent from B2B. Permission to use B2B’s material is subject to change at any time deemed appropriate by B2B and Publisher agrees to comply with all guidelines for usage of B2B Trademarks that may be provided by B2B from time to time. Expiration of the Term or any other termination of this Agreement will immediately nullify and void all license privileges granted to Publisher by B2B. Publisher hereby grants to B2B a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use and display Publisher’s trademarks, service marks and logos during the Term of this Agreement. Expiration of the Term or any other termination of this Agreement will immediately nullify and void all license privileges granted to B2B by Publisher.

9. Traffic Standards
Publisher may not in any way use SPAM, ICQ, message boards, or any artificial or incentive techniques to drive traffic to the Publisher’s site, nor may the Publisher modify the code provided by B2B to display the ad materials. Publisher may not drive non-human traffic or use multiple codes for displaying ad material provided by B2B by using scripts, programs, auto-bots or by any other such means whatsoever, as this constitutes the artificial inflation of Internet traffic. Any artificial inflation of Internet traffic directly harms advertisers and is treated as FRAUD and THEFT OF FUNDS. B2B reserves the right to prosecute any Publisher, found to be artificially inflating traffic, to the fullest extent of the law. Publisher is to make all efforts in ensuring that no artificial inflation of traffic stems from Publisher’s site. It is Publisher’s responsibility to notify B2B promptly if there is reason to believe that Publisher’s traffic is being artificially inflated. Earnings from artificial traffic or traffic that B2B determines, in its sole discretion, to be of generally low quality may be deducted from Publisher’s earnings.
Publisher may use multiple ad-units on one page so long as there are no duplicate ad-units. Under no circumstances should the total codes displayed on one site exceed a total of three (3) codes. The entire website and all its referring pages must be written entirely in English.
B2B has the sole right in determining the validity of each page impression. Invalid impressions will not be paid for. Failure to comply with the traffic standards will result in termination of Publisher's participation in the B2B Program and in the forfeiture of all monies owed to Publisher by B2B.

10. Indemnification
Publisher will defend and indemnify B2B and its successors from and against all third party claims, suits and proceedings and any and all damages, liabilities costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising from the operation of Publisher’s site. B2B gives Publisher control of the defense and settlement of the claim. However, no settlement may be entered into which would adversely affect B2B. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

11. Disclaimers
B2B DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, B2B MAKES NO WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO ITS SERVICES.

12. Liability Limitation
B2B WILL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE TO PUBLISHER FOR (I) INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING FROM SUCH PARTY’S PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROVISION OF SUCH PARTY’S SERVICES (INCLUDING SUCH DAMAGES INCURRED BY THIRD PARTIES), SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR LOST BUSINESS, OR (II) ANY AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT PAYABLE BY B2B TO PUBLISHER DURING THE TERM. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, THIS SECTION SHALL NOT LIMIT PUBLISHER’S LIABILITY TO B2B FOR WILLFUL AND MALICIOUS MISCONDUCT, BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS, OR FULFILLMENT OF ANY INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.
